I am very excited to be partnering with Graham’s Foundation. My son Carter was born at 10 weeks premature, at 30 weeks and 1 day. He was 3 pounds 11 ounces and was 16 ¼ inches long. I was terrified about whether he would be okay and what implications this would have for the rest of […]

My husband and I were stunned that we were having twins, but nothing could have prepared us for Thomas and Colin’s early birth at 24 weeks, 6 days. My placenta ruptured and the boys arrived unprepared to come into the world. One had a stage 3 brain bleed on his left side. The other had […]

My hands are weakly wrapped around the wheel. My throat choked up as I’m holding back the pain inside from physically manifesting down my face. “Happier” by Marshmello & Bastille is playing on the radio. The twins are behind me securely strapped into their car seats. I can’t see their faces, but I’m consumed with […]
Everyone has a day that changes them. A day that never fades from memory. May 3rd, 2010, is that day for me. Before May 3rd, I was an excited, first-time expectant mother—doing mom things, picking out crib sheets and relishing those first faint kicks of my long-awaited little one. I couldn’t wait for August 11th, […]

Today is World Prematurity Day. It’s just over 3 and a half years since we started our journey with prematurity and damn it I wish I knew back then just how much it would become a part of me. Of us. I don’t know why I thought it would be different. Maybe I thought […]
